The mission of Hearts of Gold is to enhance the lives of New York City's homeless mothers and their children.

In 1996, she created Hearts of Gold (HoG). She raised substantial funds for New York City's elderly and frail homeless population, and now her focus is on our homeless mothers and their children. read more here

World Aids Day 2009

By respecting and protecting ourselves and others we can stop the spread of HIV and end HIV prejudice.

5 things you can do to Respect & Pro

• Find out the facts about HIV and talk to your friends, family and colleagues about HIV – make sure they know the reality, not the myths.
• 
  
• Know your HIV status: get tested if you have put yourself at risk.
• 
  
• Talk to all new sexual partners about using condoms. Using a condom during sex (especially vaginal or anal sex) is the best way to protect yourself and your partner from HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
• 
  
• If someone tells you they are HIV positive, treat them with respect and don’t tell others without their agreement.
• 
  
• Wear a red ribbon as a symbol of your support for everyone affected by HIV, and to raise awareness.

What does Respect & Protect mean?

Tony Hansberry II Developed New Way to Sew Up Patients

Tony Hansberry II is a ninth-grader pictured above

Tony Hansberry II is a ninth-grader who, as it happens, will be presenting his findings today before an auditorium filled with doctors just like any of his board-certified - and decades older - colleagues would. He would say he was following in the footsteps of "Doogie Howser, M.D." - if he weren't too young to have heard of the television show.Instead, he says that his remarkable accomplishments are merely steps toward his ultimate goal of becoming a University of Florida-trained neurosurgeon.

"I just want to help people and be respected, knowing that I can save lives," said Tony, the son of a registered nurse mom and an African Methodist Episcopal church pastor dad.To be sure, he had some help along the way, but, then again, most researchers do. The seeds of his project were planted last summer during his internship at the University of Florida's Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research, based at Shands Jacksonville.

To understand why a teenager would be a hospital intern, it's important to know that Tony is a student down the street from Shands at Darnell-Cookman Middle/High School, a magnet school geared toward all things medical. (Students, for example, master suturing by the eighth grade.)

Afrikan Holistic Parenting

"There is a saying, “if you heal a woman you heal a nation”. I offer this book as a token of peace and healing. As a group of people, Afrikans hold much sickness, hurt, toxicity, and disease. These ailments are brought on by emotional and physical issues. Women especially hold on to this hurt in their centers, their wombs. All life comes from the womb. Afrikan nations depend on the womb to build and grow. The men have wombs too. Men and women have many relationship issues due to a myriad of factors. Afrikan women have forgotten what it was like to hold the Afrikan man in her womb, sending him love, protection, and healing. The Afrikan man has forgotten the womb from which he came. He has essentially forgotten who his mother is. He has forgotten floating in those sweet peaceful waters. " click here to read more
